What hotel would you recommend?

I'm flying from Wisconsin to Colorado and then I'm driving down with my friend to Coachella.

We don't want to spend a fortune because of the money we will be spending to get there and we're planning on staying a few days in Los Angeles after Coachella. I've been looking for hotels to stay in for a while but nothing is sticking out. Theyre all great hotels, but very pricey!

We are thinking of staying in a place near Palm Springs and then driving to a shuttle line. We bought shuttle passes.

What would you recommend? Your help is greatly appreciated!

PS we will be going weekend 1 and looking to stay at the hotel for 4 nights. We don't want anything more than $100 a night.

Re: What hotel would you recommend?

So the Thursday night before Coachella, you can find a decent place for $100 a night on Hotwire. Book that two months in advance. But the problem, as always, is the Fri - Sun. You can find some of the hotels that don't book through the major booking sites but have an online presence for maybe $150 a night. You'll have to snoop around and play detective but there are quite a few hotels in Palm Springs that have 20 - 50 rooms that are motels that were built in the 50's and 60's that have been refurbished. Look at tripadvisor.com and you'll be able to figure it out. Good luck.

Try Motel 6. There are several in the area that have availability for those dates. In Palm Springs they are all $109 p/n. The one in Rancho Mirage is $100 p/n, and is closer to the polo fields, but I don't know if/where the shuttle stops in RM. The one in Indio is already sold out. I suggest that you make reservations NOW; you can always cancel up to the day before if you make other arrangements down the line.
